Hello and welcome! I am Julija, a qualified naturopathic nutritionist, passionate about whole-person wellness and empowering people to make positive diet and lifestyle changes that promote health, boost energy and feelings of happiness and confidence. My academic background has led me to believe in the power of knowledge and research, growth mindset and dedication.
As a naturopath, my goal is to address the root cause and provide a long-term relief from certain health problems, and also improve overall well-being through making some mind-body transformational changes that will have a positive impact on every aspect of life.
My personal journey
Once upon a time I was a young woman, a university graduate, who was dreaming about a successful and fulfilling career.
After many years of working in an office environment I became a mum to a lovely boy and beautiful twin girls. As a mum of 3 my priorities have shifted massively but I still longed for a career that could give me purpose
Once upon a time I was a young woman, a university graduate, who was dreaming about a successful and fulfilling career.
After many years of working in an office environment I became a mum to a lovely boy and beautiful twin girls. As a mum of 3 my priorities have shifted massively but I still longed for a career that could give me purpose, fulfillment and more flexibility. At the time I was still suffering with some debilitating hormonal and thyroid problems and consequences of difficult pregnancies and childbirth. Back in my teenage years I was diagnosed with PCOS and I was told that I had a low chance of getting pregnant. Miraculously, I did get pregnant naturally but I did go through a lot of problems in my pregnancies and I wish I'd known then what I know now. In my second, twin pregnancy, I was diagnosed with an auto-immune thyroid disorder, and later on - with PMDD. The only available treatment was a thyroid medication, SSRIs and hormonal treatment. Personally, it did not work for me and instead - was giving me unpleasant side effects. My symptoms were seriously interfering with my daily life and I knew that I had to do something that would work long-term.
After finding no answers in conventional medicine, I decided to train as a nutritionist and completed an intensive diploma course in naturopathic nutrition, and got trained by one of Britain’s most respected natural health experts, an author of 8 books on health, dieting and nutrition. I quickly started applying my knowledge in my everyday life and I was astonished to see that my hormonal and autoimmune issues began to disappear until I eventually cured them completely without having to seek a doctor's help or advice anymore. My thyroid levels were finally within a normal range and I've realised that my knowledge in nutritional therapy was a godsend to me. Since then, I decided to further my professional development in nutritional therapy with CNM.
Prior to launching my own business, I'd also worked as a teaching assistant, sometimes helping children with special needs and behavioural problems. It's at that time I often caught myself thinking that I have this unique knowledge how to help children with ADHD/ASD to relieve some of the symptoms with nutritional therapy advice. I really felt strongly that I wanted to make a difference. I once made a difference to my own son who was suffering with severe constipation and eczema when he was younger. I couldn't bare watching him suffer and one day I decided to do an avoidance and challenge test by totally removing gluten and dairy, and within weeks my son's constipation resolved, his skin cleared and I also noticed that his behaviour improved dramatically too. Even if you haven't got a food allergy, food intolerance can cause a cluster of different symptoms that can interfere with your daily life.
When I qualified as a natural health consultant speacialising in naturopathic nutrition, I had another breakthrough moment when I realised that as a young girl growing up I have always been into exercise, experimenting with different diets and looking up labels in health food stores. As a teenager I used to go for long runs with my dad in the countryside and I used to watch my mum cooking healthy nutritious meals from scratch after a long day at work. As a family we would enjoy going hiking in the mountains or camping in the lake region and foraging for wild mushrooms and berries. My ultimate mission has always been to help as many people as I can to live healthy, balanced and vibrant lives with my holistic approach, addressing and improving every aspect of well-being.
